We made it!

I cannot believe that we have actually made it to week 12!!! I never thought that this day would get here. I know that a miscarriage could still happen, but I really don't think that it will. Since I have now had 4 ultrasounds and everything looks perfect, I am feeling much better about this pregnancy. The baby is measuring right where it needs to be!

On Friday I asked my doctor if I could have an ultrasound before Christmas and she said no. MFM really wants me to be 20 weeks before they do the anatomy scan and tell us what we are having. I did find out that I have yet another blood disorder so I am waiting to hear if I need to be back on Lovenox. My friend has the same three blood disorders that I do and once she was told that she has this our doctor at MFM put her on jobst stockings and Lovenox. I am really hoping that I don't have to. Time will tell.

I am still very tired...but feeling pretty well. I have gained 1 pound and am definitely looking a little pregnant/fat. I did go out and buy some maternity clothes. I got a super cute pair of dark jeans on clearance at the GAP. I can't wait to wear them.

Well I hope that everyone has a great Thanksgiving! :o)

11 weeks (1 day late)


How far along? 11 weeks

Total Weight gain? Not sure.

Maternity clothes? Nope...not yet. Still trying to squeeze into my regular clothes since all of my maternity clothes are in storage.

Sleep? Love it! I am so tired lately.

Best moment this week? Actually feeling like I am pregnant since we are now telling people.

Gender? Not sure. I have no feelings either way yet.

What I am looking forward to? Friday's ultrasound. Kaden gets to come with us!
Your fetus is about the size of a lime and currently enjoys a 1:1 ratio between body and head, and has skin so transparent that blood vessels show right through. But fingers and toes are no longer webbed and hair follicles, tooth buds, and nail beds are forming.

BiG NeWs!!!

I am PrEgNaNt!!!

I have known for over a month now, but I have been so scared to say anything. I figured that I would jinx this pregnancy if I told everyone too soon. I have had three ultrasounds so far and everything looks great! Friday was my last ultrasound at MFM and we got to see the baby in 3D/4D. It was amazing!!! The heartbeat was 154. Poor Kaden couldn't go back and see the ultrasound, but the ultrasound tech did give him his very own picture that said "Hi Kaden" on it. He was pretty excited about that and it has been sitting on display on his dresser ever since we got home. I will be eleven weeks already on Tuesday and my belly is already expanding! Time is just flying by! I guess that the third time is a charm! I just cannot believe that this is my third pregnancy in a year. Now if we can just get moved into our house and get organized. That would be excellent! We didn't have the builders paint the baby's room, so that is our responsibility once we know what we are having. I will be 16 weeks on December 22nd, so I am hoping that we can have another ultrasound before Christmas to find out what this baby is. Jeremy and I would love more than anything to be able to tell Kaden what his little sibling will be for Christmas. Wouldn't that be neat?

Well, be looking for updates weekly on what the baby and I are up to. I know that my mom looks forward to seeing how the baby is growing on here. I love that too! It is just so amazing to me how fast they change. Hope everyone had a great weekend! :o)

Fall activities

I am so sorry that I haven't blogged in a month! I have been super busy with our house painting. Here are some pictures to catch up from the last month. A few weeks ago we took Kaden to a local pumpkin farm to get our pumpkins. It was a lot of fun! There was a hay ride, goats to feed, two corn mazes, a slide, and a ton of pumpkins to choose from. Here are some pics from the farm...


On the hay ride
Jeremy's employer had an appreciation night and we all got to go to the new arena and watch a hockey game. Jeremy and Kaden have never been to a hockey game so they were pretty excited. Here are the two boys...

Doesn't he look super mean?Hope everyone has a great weekend! My mom and I will be painting our laundry room....and then I think that we are done with what we need to do. Hopefully we will be moving into our house within the next three weeks!!!
